VANHA 123

Inside the old stone walls of the WSOY building, in the premises of a former cinema, beats the cultural heart of the festival. Vanha 123, which has three hundred-seats per hall, is a meeting place for diverse cultural events. The cozy and delicious Aatos Café is located in the lobby.

At the festival, the audience of Vanha 123 will be served two shows with one ticket. When the doors open, there are house dj’s playing and one can enjoy a glass of wine from the bar. The gigs start simultaneously in halls 1 and 2. After a short break, the audience switches seats and hears the second performer of the evening.

During the festival, the entire space is K-18

VANHA Pantteri

True to its traditions, Porvoo Jazz Festival ry takes over a new abandoned space this year. This time too, the venue for the late night and children’s concert can be found surprisingly close, right on the side of Vanha 123, the next door! Until 2013, the entertainment center known as the Red Panther operated as a billiard hall and bar with versatile gaming machines. In honor of its predecessor, the festival’s pop-up space was named the Old Panther. During the late-night concerts, the entire space is a drinking area, so events starting after 10 pm are K-18
